I managed to snag a chromebook even though I was waitlisted for it, but it really boiled down to dumb luck. Looking for other laptops to buy after being waitlisted I randomly clicked back to the chromebook tab to see a window saying I had ten seconds to add the chromebook to the cart or else it would go to the next Read more

To me amazon can do no wrong. But its strange how this prime day left a bad taste in my mouth which is hard to do to an Amazon fan boy. It wasn’t really the sold out stuff, because I didnt have a need for them.But the organization of the site was absolutley horrendous. The front page has 20 items for which 12 of them Read more

Would you like to feel like your coffee is kissing you back for your first few sips in the morning? Then you need a milk frother.

I finally picked up an Anova Precision Cooker for a total of $129 (discount+$20 off for using my Amazon rewards visa), which is a pretty decent deal from $180+tax. I can’t imagine I’ll have much opportunity to get it cheaper anytime soon, even if it’s more than I care to spend on a kitchen gadget. Read more

Best deals I’ve found have been the extra 15% off the Amazon Warehouse. I found an open box dash cam, cable modem, and tablet for cheap, + an extra 15% off...cheap! Read more

Nah, not that. They only offered very limited quantities, especially for the best deals. I’d be surprised if there were more than 50 TVs for sale at that price. Read more

Also, you don’t have figures for how many they were selling. It’s completely possible they only had 10 or 20 units. With tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands, of users watching the deals, you really shouldn’t be surprised that electronics items went that quickly. It’s already been pretty much confirmed Read more

I almost got a Logitech mouse because my last one finally bit the bullet and I’m using the crappy mouse that came with my PC (Logitech mice really are amazing), but Read more

Pretty disappointed that Amazon didn’t offer up any of there bigger hardware. : /

Biggest item was the Echo. No Paperwhites, Voyages, or HDXs. The way this sale was advertised I found it really lackluster.

Most of the deals seemed like they were from third party sellers too. Less of an Amazon sale and more of an Amazon Read more
